I have a DIY co2 system set up for my 10g tank. Lighting is 52w CF.

My co2 system is producing 20 bubbles per minute, is this enough?

I would say no, That quite alot of watt. And your co2 is not even at 1BPS.
Thats like on 1 bubbles per 3 second on yours

I say it depends on the type of CF bulb.

Are you using screw-in bulbs or a fixture with square / straight pin?

Only true way to tell is to add a Drop Checker.

I am using 2 x 26w screw-in CF bulbs.

Quick question, how do you know your BPS ? Will it require to setup some kind of thingy ?

All I used was my watch.

My tubing is slightly larger diameter than regular air tubing. Maybe my bubbles are larger?
